Day Dreaming, Heads In The Sand
This morning on the wireless (there’s a rough recording below of the actual snippet) I heard Tim Cossar the Chief Executive of the Tourism Industry Association along with Damien O’Connor interviewed about the challenges facing tourism NZ. Damian - our Minister of Tourism - said something like this…
… tourists worried about carbon miles when flying across the globe to reach our isolated little island don’t need to worry because their carbon emissions will be adequately offset by their experience here in NZ where they will learn about the environment in our pristine clean green pure NZ.
That’s not a direct quote but near enough. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
I did have a good laugh when I saw this on The Standard though…
Heads in the sand indeed. There’s some scary levels of ignorance down there in the beehive as this post over at hot topic also confirms.
Reminds me of some street theatre we did last year…

pristine? The only reason NZ doesn’t have a massive pollution problem is because we don’t have enough people to really f*** up the environment. But we do our best. Per capita emissions amongst the world’s highest, and among the fastest growing emissions of any country. Wow. What a thing to be proud of.
our big fat lie will be found out sooner or later…
NZ should strop trading with China and importing goods from China then we would be a completely carbon neutral or possibly positive country!
but no the Green would have that a financial penalty for everyone will solve the allged global warming scam, in ways that I can’t even begin to understand.
Not a direct quote but near enough. This is the sort of thing that can really be twisted. Also I am glad to see you using a temp graph from IPCC 2001 that has been shown to make a hockey stick no matter wha you put into it. Wake up people. Look at all the science. If you spend all your time on climate change then you will miss all the REAL problems.
